The marketing committee has been working on a series of changes and will present soon to the board a document summing up this work. The name of this document is "Strengthening and unifying the visual identity of Wikimedia

Guillom, it appears you have all the answers (or all the answers that are available), so let me ask you this directly: If the marketing committee is working on this proposal for presentation to the board, should any logo discussions just wait until that happens? I mean, I dont want to set up a logo vote/discussion now if the board is just going to go in a different direction from us. In short, should we wait for the marketing committee to present?
I certainly don't have all the answers :-) But when I have seen you raising the logo issue on this list, I have thought it would be good to let you know about the ongoing works. I have talked about the works from the marketing committee. Robert has mentioned Erik's proposal; they are not contrary, but they both show there are global ongoing discussions whose conclusions will impact the visual identity of all projects, including Wikibooks. In my humble opinion, both our work and Erik's proposal should encourage you to wait a little :-)
I want to get the ball rolling on a new logo discussion ASAP, but i'm not
going to waste my time with it if the board changes the rules in mid vote.
I fully agree, and this is precisely why I have taken part in this thread: to prevent Wikibookians from rushing into discussions about logos if the rules change soon.
